IGF Retreat 2016 Call for Written Inputs

All stakeholders are invited to send written inputs commenting on
issues that will be discussed (agenda), with reference to the
following background documentation. The guiding questions below are
based on the the draft agenda:

1)     What are some ways to:

- Improve the overall preparatory process of the IGF,

- Improve the the nomination process and make-up of the
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) and the appointment process for
the IGF-MAG Chair,

- Strengthen IGF support structures?

2)     What measures can be taken to engage those stakeholders who are
currently unengaged, with a view to expand and diversify physical and
virtual participation?

3)     What are the ways we can better capture the outputs of the IGF
and increase their visibility and impact?

4)     What modalities should be put in place to ensure sustained
funding to support the IGF process and the IGF Secretariat.

5)     How can the IGF better support the work of national and
regional IGF initiatives (NRIs) and how can synergies between the IGF
and NRIs and amongst NRIs be increased?

6)     What are other issues, if any, that could be discussed at the Retreat?

Please keep your inputs concise. The deadline for submitting
contributions to igfretreat at intgovforum.org is 1 July.  All written
inputs received will be shared in public on the IGF website. We kindly
ask that you group your inputs according to the specific agenda item
if possible.
